Roses are red, Quaggans are blue,
I’d spend every gold just to waypoint to you.
Across Tyria’s skies and shifting sands,
We chase every adventure - hand in hand.
Through each battle braved and chaos too,
My heart crits hard when I’m with you.
Be mine?
💘✨

still mad, but new washer plays a pleasing jingle when it's finished. this brings me some comfort
update: whole washer has to be replaced because the timer knob was turned slightly wrong one time, and it's impossible to get a new part. clown economy

not the first person to say this, but video games' closest artistic sibling is theatre, not film. immersive theatre, for sure, but there's overlap in less-experimental, proscenium-style plays as well

Just gonna say since we're already talking about unionizing game writers: hey, maybe let us localizers in on those talks, too, because it's pretty fucking rough out there, even in AAA. I'd probably have three times as many credits if we were unionized and I'm one of the lucky ones with any at all.
Nioh 3, developed by Koei Tecmo and localized in 11 languages, does NOT feature any #TranslatorsInTheCredits. A few members of Localization staff are included in the LQA credits, but none of the actual translators are credited. Source: GamersPrey

It should be illegal for a washing machine to break with no recourse if the timer knob gets turned slightly wrong
anyway. that's half my clothes I need to throw out now
